The Explorers 4-H Club presented its new officers as it held its annual awards banquet Sunday evening at the Sanctuary.

Val Loose, leader of the club, presented the new officers for 2012/2013. Mackenzie Powell will serve as president, Ive Miller as vice president, Makinna Miller as secretary, Kolby Branom as treasurer, Juan Estrada as reporter and Joe Ward as historian.

Karla Powell gave the invocation. As the club members served a delicious meal of salad, beef stroganoff, green beans, dinner roll and frog eye salad to the 55 attendees, Makinna Miller sang "It's Only a Paper Moon" to everyone.

Rich Guggenheim Morgan County Extension Agent and club president Mackenzie Powell distributed record books certificates and club certificates to the members.

Each member presented certificates of appreciation to the special people they wanted to thank for helping with their projects or purchasing their livestock animals.

Loose then presented a plaque to Mackenzie Powell as senior pacesetter of the club, to Jacey Gahagen as junior pacesetter of the club and to Wiley Eicher as Cloverbud of the Year.
